The sensation Of the past week was the
controversy between Secretary Lamar and
Commissioner Sparks, ,which,it seems, can
only be satisfactorily settled by the retire.

apparent logical outcome Of the difference
will be to accept the Secretary's sugges'
tion. There are those who declare that
Mr.. Sparks Is In an aggressive mood, and
that he proposes to obstinately hold his
official position as long as possible. A
public communication Is expected from
the Commissioner in response TO the Sc.
cretary's.
